What are the Nursing Interventions for Acute Episodes?
During acute cardiopulmonary events, nurses must act swiftly to stabilize the patient. Key interventions include:
- Administering Oxygen: Providing supplemental oxygen to maintain adequate oxygen levels. - Medication Administration: Giving medications such as nitrates, beta-blockers, or anticoagulants as prescribed. - [Continuous Monitoring](): Using cardiac monitors to track heart rhythm and vital signs. - [Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)](): Performing CPR in case of cardiac arrest. - Collaboration with Healthcare Team: Working closely with physicians, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
